Senior Theatre, celebrating older performers with script-in-hand performances and educating audiences on aging issues. Driving Miss Daisy (2007)Doris Graeber as Daisy and Andre Cobbs as Hoke Senior Theatre Live Theater Keeps You Young! Aberdeen Community Theatre celebrates older performers with its newest programming, Senior Theatre. Plans are currently being made to launch into this exciting avenue. Senior Theatre is one of the fastest growing forms of the performing arts in the country. The most popular form is readers’ theatre or script-in-hand performances. This “less threatening” technique helps participants leap over the memorization hurdle so more performers can be on stage with confidence. Also popular is creating theater to educate audiences about issues such as aging awareness, fall prevention and a wide assortment of disease related concerns.

Readers’ Theatre is a dramatic approach to literature; a medium in which two or more oral interpreters through their oral reading, with their bodies and voices, cause an audience to experience literature as they, the interpreters/actors, experience it. Some have called this putting the human being back into literature – physically, vocally, intellectually and emotionally. Readers’ Theatre calls for mental images of characters playing out a scene that exists primarily in the minds of the participants. These participants are both readers/actors and audiences. How much time commitment does Readers’ Theatre entail? Readers’ Theatre shows require smaller time commitments than do more traditional theater because less staging and memorization is required. Depending on the play, director, and cast for each play, there will be five to ten rehearsals. How are scripts chosen? Anyone interested in seeing a script performed, in this style, may submit it to ACT’s artistic/managing director. Readers’ Theatre scripts may or may not be traditional plays. In the early stages of this new program, preference will be given to scripts 30-60 minutes in length. How are actors and directors chosen? Actors will be chosen throughout the season from auditions. Directors will be chosen by ACT’s artistic/managing director. ACT's Season Young People's Theatre Check out other ACT programs Senior Theater Improv Troupe

Oh, wanderer of the web, thy path is lost in code, Return, return, to whence thou strode. In the vast expanse of cyberspace, a page hath vanished, A web of sorrow, where links are banished. Hark! Hear the lament, the server doth moan, 404, a sonnet of bytes overthrown. Go to Homepage
